Drywall & ceiling repair across the Diablo Valley
Mon–Sat, 7am–6pm (925) 555-0142
Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County and the biggest single source of drywall work in the valley — largely because so much of it was built at once. The post-war tract boom of the 1950s and 60s put up tens of thousands of homes on similar plans, and forty to seventy years on they are failing in similar ways.
That is good news for repair pricing: we have seen your wall before. Same framing, same board thickness, same tape seams pulling apart in the same places.

Concord splits cleanly by era. The flatland tracts around Monument and Sun Terrace are 1950s–60s single-storey homes with thin board and a lot of settling cracks. Clayton Valley and Concord Hills are later and larger, mostly orange peel over standard board, with two-storey homes where upstairs bathroom leaks show up as a ceiling stain downstairs. Downtown near Todos Santos there is a pocket of genuinely old housing where you still find lath and plaster behind the drywall.
Housing note: A large share of Concord homes were built 1950–1975, which puts almost every original acoustic ceiling in the asbestos-testing window.
High-volume, well-understood work. Concord tract homes crack in predictable places and we patch them the same way every time — properly.

Yes, and it is a good fit — Concord has a lot of rental stock and turnover patching is fast, repeatable work. Multi-unit jobs get quoted as a batch rather than unit by unit.
The leak gets found and stopped first — usually a wax ring, a supply line or a shower pan. Then the wet board comes out, the cavity dries, and only then does it get closed and textured. Painting over the ring without doing that just buys a few months.
It depends far more on access, height and texture than on the size of the hole. A single small patch at standard ceiling height is the least expensive job we do; the same patch on a two-storey entry wall costs several times more because of staging and protection. We give written quotes before any work starts.
Yes — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, hand-troweled and Level 5 smooth. For unusual or hand-applied finishes we prepare a sample panel and get your sign-off before touching the visible wall. Where a blend genuinely will not disappear, we will tell you that re-texturing the whole wall is the better answer rather than leaving you with a patch you can see.
We finish, texture and prime every repair so it is ready for paint and the sheen matches. Final colour coats are usually best handled by your painter, who has your exact paint — but ask, because on small jobs we can often finish it out.
Joint compound has to dry between coats, so most repairs are one long day or two shorter visits. Anyone promising a finished, textured, invisible repair in ninety minutes is skipping a coat.
